Assessment for co-production of critical metals (lithium, copper, strontium) and geothermal heat in various geological formations of the North German basin

Key Points

• The co-production of critical metals and geothermal heat shows significant potential across diverse geological formations.
• Critical metals such as lithium, copper, and strontium were assessed for their co-production viability with geothermal heat.
• Observational analysis across multiple geological formations in the North German basin revealed hopeful resource opportunities.
• Understanding these formations is crucial for sustainable energy solutions as global demand for critical metals rises.
